Jurendic comments on transfer rumors and new additions

Marinko Jurendic was able to stay behind the relegation After the 2-1 (1-0) at VfL Bochum finally set a catch. With 42 points, FC Augsburg is now no longer to be removed from the league. So Jurendic has final certainty, can advance the planning of personnel. At the same time, he and the club can operate advertising on their own behalf in the remaining five league games and increase the stimuli for any new additions.

If the FCA remains in the Bundesliga table ahead of Werder Bremen, it receives around three million euros more in the distribution of TV money. At the same time, there is still the possibility to land at an international starting place at the end of the season. There are four points for a Europa League place, three points for a Conference League place. With the 50-point mark, Jurendic is aiming for the next intermediate destination. In the home game against Eintracht Frankfurt (Sunday, 3:30 p.m./Dazn) the FCA can get the next counters, a total of 15 are still to be awarded. “We are ambitious enough that we want to achieve the maximum. If it is in the end, we’ll take everything.  »

FC Augsburg has Fabian Rieder and Morlaye Sylla on the note

All the more successfully the FCA acts in the final games, the easier the easier should be when looking for new additions.

For example, Alexis Claude-Maurice is associated with VfB Stuttgart, and further offers are likely to be submitted for Chrislain Matsima or Dimitrios Giannoulis.

The FCA deals with new additions. In the Bochum Ruhr Stadium, Jurendic confirms that Morlaye Sylla, a player of the Portuguese first division club FC Arouca, is concerned. The 26-year-old attacker plays for the Guineas national team. In addition, the FCA vies around the services of the Swiss national player Fabian Riederwhich is currently loaned to VfB Stuttgart from the French first division club Stade Rennes. « I know him from the past. He is a national player in Switzerland, a great player with a fine left foot who is good for every team. » Problem with this: the high transfer fee. The purchase option is currently to be a transfer fee of 15 million euros. And with Borussia Mönchengladbach there is another prospect from the Bundesliga.

Schotte Max Johnston at FC Augsburg is not an issue

On the other hand, the Scottish right -back Max Johnston (Sturm Graz) is not an issue – although the FCA looks over for reinforcements in all positions. Jurendic: « We will take the necessary time. If we get someone, then it has to be full of conviction. »
